Holton Rower "Painting"

Clever.  Spill paint.  Spill some more.  Get a bunch of people to spill different colors.  Voila, million dollar piece.

Venice Beach Graffiti

I was out this past weekend catching the sights and sounds of Venice Beach--bodybuilders, potheads, buskers, panhandlers etc. And blatant weed dealers posing as "medical clinics."

I hadn't been out there in a while and to my shock, an Adult Swim piece went over one of my favorite murals.  I stumbled on yet another rupasboy piece pasted over a griffitti-ridden vending machine.  This time, a fish with what appeared to be snail shells as scales, with hearts spewing from its mouth.  A google search on rupasboy yielded very few results, and the only info I could dig up was a MySpace page that hadn't been logged into in over 6 months, zero friends and no pictures.  Rupasboy is apparently from New York and has a penchant for online poker.
